Development of Site

The first 8 pages were installed on 13 July 2006. The visitor-monitoring program was installed late on Monday 24 July 2006. On 27 July the site was enlarged to 21 pages, prior to official launch on the 29th to commemorate the 150th anniversary of a Times leader describing Cort as "father of the iron trade".

Over the next six months, more pages on Cort were introduced, together with series of pages on the Navy, Gosport and features of eghteen-century Britain. Further pages were added, and substantial alterations made, in the subsequent period to April 2009.

The full capacity of the site has the following pages:
